Words of Wisdom for 2016

  A friend sent this to their Christmas Card recipients  -  I'm sharing with you because I think most of what I read is  pretty accurate.   These are some of the  words left by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, a  well known motivational speaker who passed on this year.

1. Cooperation is healthier than competition.  If you're always in a hurry, always trying to get ahead of the other guy, or someone else's performance is what motivates you, then that person is in control of you.

2.  If you love people you don't try to change them.  Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.

3. Ignorance is not bliss.  The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about.

4. You are not a victim of the world.  How people treat you is their karma: how you react is yours.

5. You find yourself in solitude. You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

6. Rejection makes you stronger.  Be grateful to all those people who told you no. It's because of them that you managed to do it all yourself.

7. Self worth cannot be verified by others. You are worthy because you say it is so. If you depend on others for your value it is other-worth.

8. You don't attract what you want in your life, you attract what you are.  If you're obsessed with defeating the other guy and winning at all costs, then you're guaranteed to attract the vibrational equivalent of this thinking into your life - even if you do yoga and stand on your head chanting mantras every day.

9. There are no limits to what you can achieve - you are a no-limit person.  when you argue for your limitations, all you get are your limitations.

10. Heaven on Earth is a choice you must make, not a place you must find.  Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world.  Same world.

11. All that you need is already within you.  You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.

12. There is no end to personal growth.  Individuals who use self labels are stating "I'm a finished product in this area and a I'll never be any different.  If you're a finished product all tied up and put away, you've stopped growing.

13. Follow your heart and you will be successful.  Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
